TERIYAKI SHISH KABOBS

Teriyaki Shish Kabobs image

When I was a teenager, my father worked for an airline, and my family lived on the island of Guam in the South Pacific. A friend of my mother gave her this tangy-sweet recipe, and we enjoyed it often. Now I make it for my family, and they're big fans as well. -Suzanne Pelegrin, Ocala, Florida
